The former Lakers coach agreed to a deal to become the new coach of the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.

Walton met with former Lakers teammate Vlade Divac, now the Kings’ general manager and the two parties decided that this would be a match made in heaven.

Walton and the Lakers agreed to part ways after the coach finished his third year with the team with a disappointing 37-45 record. The Lakers were expected to compete for the NBA title and the Western Conference top spot after acquiring LeBron James last off-season.

Walton finished 98-148 in his three years in LA.

Sacramento, on the other hand, fired former coach Dave Joerger after the regular season’s conclusion despite finishing with a 39-43 record, the team’s best since the 2005-06 season.

The Kings have missed the playoffs for the past 13 consecutive seasons.

Sacramento hopes that Walton will be the coach to take them back to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade. Despite his underwhelming results with LA, Walton is respected and admired in many NBA circles.

Exact terms of the deal are still pending announcement.

At first, most of the people pointed towards Vince Carter, stating that he is the man to be blamed for such an outcome. Sacramento Kings small forward was near McCaw when he jumped and he diverted his path, which made young guard lose his balance. Immediately, the 41-year-old started feeling sorry for what he did and at one point his eyes were full of tears.

After the game, a huge debate started spreading over the internet and the media, about Carter. One side is claiming that he is a dirty player and that he wanted to hurt younger colleague.

But among others, who are defending one of the best dunkers in NBA history are Golden State Warriors superstars, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green.

“I know Vince’s spirit and his heart. I don’t believe it was intentional at all. It looked like he was just caught in the middle of the play and wanted to move out of the way, but Pat was coming so fast.” , Durant stated for the ESPN. ” It was just an unfortunate play. Nobody in our locker room thinks Vince did that on purpose.”

Our sports desk wishes a fast recovery to Patrick McCaw who needs to rest in order to heal his concussion.
